From inactivity, it may be more likely to leak when it is finally used. Imagine the horror: you neglect the dishes, and eventually your roomate does them and decides to use the dishwasher . . . which leaks.

I confess that the only real reason I use the appliance is because I fear it will be more likely to leak if I stop using it.

I rejoice in my dishwater, except that it has a bias against tall glasses. There is always scummy stuff left on them. Everything else is perfect, however.
I think it's a kind of sadistic intolerance. =[

Since it's never used... it wouldn't be my problem when somebody did decide to one day use it.

This is the reason why I flick on the garberator once in a while. But that's only because it's there at the sink and the sink gets heavy usage. As to the dishwasher? Let it rot!

The only solution is to destroy the dishwasher.

Nah, can't do that... It's considered as an "essential" appliance. I need it when the house is sold. If I destroy it, then I'll need to buy a new one. No way I'm doing that. Besides, what am I going to do with that hole underneath the counter?
